is a professor of epidemiology and meds at columbia university she's criticized trump's plan to fast track a vaccine. this timeline is quite ambitious it's quite a stretch actually i think even the the other. estimations of a year or 18 months to the development of a vaccine were already quite ambitious so the great fear is that we don't want to cut any corners in the development of a vaccine it's absolutely critical that a vaccine the xan to be safe and then also be demonstrated to be effective there is no point in having a vaccine that is not safe and that does not work so i think most importantly is to stick to the science and do the studies that need to be done to get us to a safe and effective vaccine what's critical is 1st identify their candidate vaccines that meaning the molecules that look promising as a vaccine either in the laboratory or an animal studies then they do that the next

step is to take this product this candid vaccine and test it 1st in a limited number of people to demonstrate that at least is safe in humans if it's proven to be safe in humans in a small number of individuals then we move to the 2nd phase of the development of the vaccine and that is when it's tested in a larger group of individuals and hopefully then to see again and it's safe and then to begin to see if there is any evidence that it actually works and this process takes several months. a weather update next here on out 0 then protesters in the u.s. state of arizona say the end of the law will have deadly consequences and warnings of a 2nd wave of infections this england allows people to return to. hello

their common sense when we're dealing with a virus a piece of r.n.a. that most people are completely unfamiliar with them terms of the transmission the dynamics and so on it's really quite quite problematic it's not just scientists who are worried the care home sector remains in the grip of its deadly epidemic that has seen a quarter of all u.k. lives lost among society's most vulnerable people and doctors and nurses on the health care front line are being told to brace for a 2nd wave doctors and nurses are absolutely exhausted the 1st wave of this virus and this condemn it was. has drained as physically and emotionally and the toll is going really huge at the prospect of going back to that going back to where we were 8 weeks ago is really really horrifying to be perfectly honest the 2nd thing that is really again incredibly worrying and anxiety inducing for us on the front

line is the lack of p.p. and there's never been enough p.p. there wasn't enough. time if we're going if there's going to be a 2nd spike and it's very much like there will be there is definitely not enough people for health care workers in the country to be adequately protected the government insists it's following scientific advice and that a phased lifting of the lockdown depends on a falling infection rate but the scientific and health care views i've been listening to are adamant there shouldn't be any lifting of the lockdown until test trace and isolate mechanisms are in place to control future outbreaks and they're not in place yet and while research by public health in london reveals that infections in the capital down to just 24 a day in the north east of england the daily rate is still around 4000 so a national strategy based on an average infection rate carries greater risk for some than for others and could see good news turn bad very quickly jonah how
